While you can have this quad-turbo behemoth in Europe, BMW hasn’t made up its mind whether it will sell a diesel-fueled X5 in the United States. Earlier this month, Alexander Schmuck, BMW Product & Technology Communications Manager, told us a final decision has not been taken yet. For the time being, the U.S.-spec 2019 X5 will be offered in xDrive 40i and xDrive 50i gasoline flavors, with a plug-in hybrid to arrive at some point in 2020 for the 2021 model year. The PHEV in question will likely be the recently revealed xDrive45e .

The final touch for this build, however, is a set of custom-made ADV.1 Wheels the owner went with for his build. These lightweight ADV10 M.V2 CS Series wheels are made from high-quality forged aluminum. Built in a two-piece configuration, they come with utmost perfect fitment and adhere to the specific requirements set forth by the build. For this BMW M4, the wheels are machined in sizes of 20×9.5 in the front and 20×11.5 in the rear. The wheels feature a Gloss Gunmetal finish and a 50/50 exposed hardware option.

Contestants in the preliminary rounds were divided into four regional competitions across the United States and competed from their offices. Competitors participated in a mystery shopper experience and received a call during the month of August. Companies and their competitors were not notified of the date or time of the call ahead of time. A team of judges graded the call.

The previous 33.2 kWh i3 started at £34,070 on-the-road price (OTR), which includes 20% VAT and On the Road Fee (£730). The new 42.2 kWh version starts at £35,180 , which is £1,110 or 3.2% more. Not bad for 9 kWh (27%) more battery capacity and range, as well as several minor improvements.

Vote Up 2 -10 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago WARREN Share On Twitter Share On Google Wheels are actually forged and quite strong. Tires are among the cheapest of any new BMW. Tire itself is only around, $150. Car is less than a third the price of any CFRP structured car. And with its sophisticated refrigerated battery, multilink IRS, Rear engine, RWD architecture, it is a bargain. So many misconceptions! Vote Up 11 -3 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago antrik Share On Twitter Share On Google Sure, for CFRP it’s likely a bargain… Yet it’s something most people would probably rather not pay any premium for 🙂 Vote Up 2 -3 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago noleaf4me Share On Twitter Share On Google Still priced 10k too high for what you get…. Vote Up 9 -3 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago mzs112000 Share On Twitter Share On Google BMW needs to seriously upgrade the i3 to make it worth what you pay for it.. It is going to need 70+kW DCFC, which will make it useful for road trips, especially with 160mile range, and Electrify America coming online. They also should upgrade the infotainment system, especially when they are charging Tesla Model 3 prices, and the infotainment system came straight out of 2008. Put in a 120v outlet in the back, or even in the frunk, this is something almost all EV’s should offer(but almost none do) Vote Up 9 0 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago Will Share On Twitter Share On Google Used 2017 i3 will go for $22-32k Vote Up 0 -1 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago Will Share On Twitter Share On Google 14-16 i3 will go to the wholesale market and probably sent overseas Vote Up 0 -1 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago Big Solar Share On Twitter Share On Google i would love to have a 2019 i3s but they are out of my reach at this stage. I think they should start at 35k. Vote Up 2 0 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago Jason Share On Twitter Share On Google At US$250/kWh pack price this upgrade is about US$2,200. If the pack price is $150/kWh then it is $1,200 more. So really it just looks like they have increased the price in line with the extra battery size plus some other cost improvements I’d say.

Vote Up 0 0 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago Madan R Share On Twitter Share On Google Nice to know that i3 for MY-2019 costs only 3% more with a 27% higher range. Still BMW has to figure out how i3 can compete with Model-3 which has 310 mile / 500 km range for the same price besides seating 5 passengers and offering lot more interior space. I gues of 2020, BMW may come out with a radically different design that enables much higher range. MY-2019 will be a make/break year for i3. Vote Up 0 0 Vote Down Reply 6 months ago

Convertibles are interesting, as they can be a bit controversial. Many enthusiats feel that convertibles are a bit soft, as they lack some of the performance of their hard-top siblings. However, many enthusiasts feel that convertibles offer the most pure and exciting experience, as they allow the driver to be more a part of the experience, part of the elements and a part of the sound. One thing I think we can all agree on is that people in convertibles might like being seen a bit more than coupe drivers. If that’s the case, this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore is perfect. Royal Oaks were some of the first sport watches ever, making them great for sporty cars like convertibles, and the Offshore models are big and flashy, making them perfect for people who like to stand out. This specific one, with its blue and brushed aluminum finish, looks great, too, and is more exciting than a typical silver and black watch. Click to learn more about this Audemars Piquet.

In another sop to European demand, 2003 also saw the introduction of the Yaris D4-D, with a 1.4-litre diesel engine also found in the Mini One D. The small common-rail unit was of its era, in that it was relatively refined, very economical and had decent enough performance, but in the supermini market the £900 premium it commanded was barely worth the effort when you considered how lively and frugal the smaller petrol-engined Yarises were. It achieved some success in diesel-hungry markets such as Spain and Italy, but sold in relatively small numbers in the UK. The petrol ones are better, anyway.

The 1999 example shown here is for sale on eBay motors right now . Despite having the less desirable S52 engine from the E36 M3 rather than the E46’s S54 , it still commands a $29,800 asking price. That’s thanks in part to the car’s surprisingly good condition, Estoril Blue paint job, and low 54,000-mile odometer reading. That may sound like a lot of money at first, but once you remember how much E30 M3 prices have spiked , you’ll understand why the price is where it is.
